| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is known as an idiopathic chronic oral mucosal pain with no identifiable causative lesions. Patients complain of burning pain in oral mucosa, reminiscent of the feeling of having hot chili in the mouth. Capsaicin, the ingredient of hot chili, is known to activate transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 channels (TRPV1).
We explored the frequency of TRPV1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and their impact on sensory properties in the oral cavity. The genotype frequency of the SNP (rs8065080) showed significant difference between healthy controls and BMS patients. Interestingly, among the BMS patients, the clinical data: VAS score of their pain intensity and disease duration was significantly different between genotypes. Additionally, capsaicin solution perception were found to be different among the healthy controls. These results might suggest that TRPV1 contribute to the genetic susceptibility to BMS.
